Emily's pov
A cyclops. Just our luck.
"Move, now!" Annabeth says, pushing me the oppisite way of her. I start running. I turn back around when I see no one is running.
The cyclops had grabbed Zoë. Jason was flying around him, trying to save her when he gets swatted down, landing with a sickening thud on the ground.
Leo was throwing fireballs at the guy but it had no effect. Must be fire proof.
I didn't like this one bit. A large eagle swooped at the cyclop's head but got smacked at. His tight grip on Zoë increased. My eyes widen as I feel the life being drained from the girl.
I kneel on the ground, both hands touching the hot concrete. I close my eyes and let my energy roam free.
It moves forward and seeps into the cyclops while he's destacted. It moves towards his heart and forms a spike of black shadow.
He yelps in pain and desoulves into dust. I pant hard as I sway to my feet. I slowly move forward and join the group.
"-ho killed it?" Annabeth asks as she helps Zoë to her feet. I close my eyes and sence her vitials, just alittle rest and she'll be fine.
I open my eyes and sit down on the ground, still panting heavily, trying to regain my energy. I look up at Annabeth. "I-I d-did..."
They all look at me like I'm crazy. I grab my bag and take a drink of water. Nice and cold. I put the bottle back, feeling a little better.
"How?"
"I don't know... I didn't even know I could do it... I senced Zoë wasn't going to hold out much longer and my instincts took over from there..."
Get her to safty please... James says to me.
You need to go, Emily... Ms. Valdez says to me.
I find myself nodding. "Guys, we should get moving, especially if we only have ten days..." I get up and we all start walking, following Leo to the nearest bus station.
I quickly catch up to him.
"You wanted to talk to me?" He asks.
"Yes, well... I don't know how to put this, but um... I can see the spirits of the dead, at least, they come to me... your mother showed herself to me..."
His face remained blank, which I knew probably wasn't good.
"Well, um, she told me to tell you that she loves you. That's all..." I start to slow my pace until Leo grabs my arm.
"Thank you for telling me..." He whispers, his voice coated with saddness.
"Your welcome..." I slow down to give him time of his own, to process.
Percy's pov
They won't find you, they'll die trying... A male voice whispers in the back of my mind.
A image forces it's self to the front of my mind.
Zoë being crushed in the grip of a cyclops...
Jason being thrown out of the air...
STOP IT!!! I think. The images fade away.
I shake them out of mind and sit up. Alex lays a few feet away from me, shaking slightly. Goosebumps cover her visible arms and her face is pale.
I feel the cold too. I can see my exhales rise infront of me. I shiver slightly and move over closer to Alex. I lean against the wall beside her, her back to my side.
I look at the ceiling.
What is going to happen to us?
Will they even find us?
A/N Yes I gave Emily a gift. She is the Daughter of Death, so what did you expect? Not sure when I'll update next, school is a pain... Welp, until next time, avoid mortals at all costs and stick with me until the end!
